Pellet Suggestions?

[loveb788]

My area is currently experiencing a pellet drought... I normally burn Energex or Hamer pellets through my Harman XXV stove, except for one time I bought Ozark Hardwoods from TSC and had a bad experience. I currently can't get Energex anywhere, so I am going to have to suck it up and get something else, or burn some oil.. :/ I finally tracked down a store somewhat local that just got some in, they have 2 choices, Lignetics hardwood for 245 a ton, and American Wood Fibers White Pine for 265 a ton.. I keep getting mixed reviews online.. I know I shouldn't be picky.. I can't help it.

The lignetics have red writing on the label? The AWF white pine have been getting overall really good reviews.

Using Lignetics hardwood here in my Harman and happy with them.

I'm not sure what color the bag is for Lignetics..He just told me they were hardwood, and the AWF were white pine.

Bag is mostly white. Yellow, red and green lettering. Only two types, hardwood and Firestarter impregnated.

Just went through 10 bags of the AWF and while very little ash they didn't "slide" down the hopper at all and I would come home to a cold stove with a 2/3 full hopper. I wont be buying them again, don't feel like babysitting the stove.

This is what I'm reading a lot of.. I, too, don't like babysitting.. The whole point of my purchasing a pellet stove was for its simplicity as compared to tending a wood stove.

No such problems with the Lignetics so far after over a ton.

I'm going to go with the Lignetics. Thanks for your input guys!

I bought mine over the summer at $235 a ton. So far no complaints. Only pellet I'd buy over them are Blazers but only saw them once here in seven heating seasons.
